Manziel threw about 65 passes to six receivers, including A&M teammate Mike Evans, who like Manziel is expected to a first-round pick in May’s draft. Manziel caused a stir by choosing to wear a helmet and shoulder pads during the workout.

Manziel didn’t understand why it was a big deal, saying: “You play the game on shoulder pads on Sundays. Why not come out and do it? … For me it was a no-brainer.”

I'm no scout, but I thought Johnny Manziel looked really good today. #JohnnyFootball
